Equation/Algebra
Ethan, Mcdonald and Willie earns $$51700$ a month. Ethan earns $$400$ less than Mcdonald and Willie earns $$3000$ more than Ethan. How much do they all earn each?
Mcdonald's earnings is $X$.
Ethan: $x - $400$
Willie: $x - $400 + 3000$
I don't know the rest of the proccess.
$$X + x - 400 + x - 400 + 3000 = 57100$$
How do you get what each one of them earns?

Use better titles, ones that describe the problem better. In this case "solving a system of equations" is far better than "equation/algebra"

You could first set how much Ethan earned as x and make the equation using,
(x+400) <- How much McDonald earns
(x+3000) <- How much Willie earns
Then you have the equation, x+x+x+400+3000=51700. Or 3x+3400=51700. You then do,
3x=51700-3400=48300
x=48300/3
x=16100 (How much Ethan earns)
Then for McDonald:
16100+400=16500
Then for Willie:
16100+3000=19100
